    When one of my friends and I were really bored one day, we decided to get dressed "to the nines" and go eat the nicest most expensive restuarant in town---steak, wine, and the whole nine yards....we had a blast. So my favorite euphemism is "dressed to the nines".

    I saw a shirt that said "I'd like to double your entendre".

    To this day I don't think I've ever read anything funnier.

    A euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener,[1] or in the case of Doublespeak, to make it less troublesome for the speaker. The deployment of euphemisms is a central aspect within the public application of political correctness.

    It also may be a substitution of a description of something or someone rather than the name, to avoid revealing secret, holy, or sacred names to the uninitiated, or to obscure the identity of the subject of a conversation from potential eavesdroppers. Some euphemisms are intended to amuse.
